More than 130 years ago, Danish Crown was founded as a collaborative of dedicated Danish farmers with a mission to serve quality meat. Shortly after being founded, the UK became our first export market – and today, our products are sold in more than 130 countries.

All over the world, Danish food production is known for its food safety and high quality. We will not compromise on these standards, but we are ready to raise the bar even further. Today, we are already among the world’s leading suppliers of organic meat and pork from pigs raised without any use of antibiotics.

The leaders of change

Finding new ways for more sustainable farming and food production is a major challenge for our entire industry. One that we are facing together. That being said, we recognise that with market leadership comes responsibility to drive change and showing the way.

In 2018, we hosted and facilitated the MEAT2030 sustainability forum, enabling stakeholders and partners within the industry and from all over the world to come together for change.

Simultaneously, at Danish Crown, we are following our own sustainability strategy holding our farmers, abattoirs and every other part of our production to high standards and goals for sustainable transformation.
The vision is clear: By 2030, we want to reduce the climate impact from our Danish Crown farms by 50 percent compared to 2005, and in 2050, we want to produce meat that is completely (net) climate neutral.
